"A person who has good thoughts cannot ever be ugly. You can have a wonky nose and a crooked mouth
and a double chin and stick-out teeth, but if you have good thoughts they will shine out of your face like sunbeams and you will always look lovely."

~ Roald Dahl, The Twits

Teacher's Corner

I have been buying your unique teaching resources for a few years now, and I just love them!
My students are much more engaged in doing book reports as well as
other creative writing assignments because of you. Thank you.

Hi Heidi. I just want t say that my class is year one in Australia and they just love all of your work. We use
your book report projects religiously and it has made my teaching and the students' learning improve by about
100%. The students just love it. Thank you so much for your help.

Hi there! I just found your website through Pinterest, and I am looking forward to using
your book reports that I just bought to help motivate my fifth grade students!

I stumbled across your website over the weekend and I'm SO glad I did!
Some great ideas and an extra thank you for the UK spellings! I bought the back to school pencils,
punctuation puppies, Willy Wonka group project and the characters! I think these are great resources
and even though it's the summer holidays, I've been into school to get my display paper up and
have put up the title banners - they look brilliant! Thank you!

Heidi, I just had to write and let you know that
your website has helped me create the most awesome author study of Roald Dahl's books.
My students loved completing the big animal shaped projects you designed for
The Enormous Crocodile, Esio Trot, and The Giraffe, and the Pelly and Me. For the
final project, they had so much fun writing and drawing about the characters from Charlie
and the Chocolate Factory using your Willy Wonka Factory project. Thanks for sharing
your scrumdiddlyumptious ideas
!

I feel so fortunate to have found your website and I have referred several
of my co-workers to your website. Just for the month of January, there were
three teachers displaying your book reports. I had the trophy reports, my neighbor
to the left had the computer reports,
and my neighbor to the right had the
birthday cake reports.
Thank you so very much for all of your work!

I just wanted to say thank you for the most amazing teaching resources that I have ever
come across in my thirty years of teaching. I have used many of your
book report
sets this year and my students absolutely loved them. What was particularly
pleasing was seeing some of my reluctant readers (especially the boys) really
wanting to read books and complete the activities. Keep up the great work!
